New York Magazine reports:
Intelligencer’s Olivia Nuzzi reports “that Pastor Greg Laurie of Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California has tested positive for COVID-19. Pastor Laurie was at the Prayer March on the Mall with Mike Pence and Franklin Graham and the [Rose Garden event for Amy Coney Barrett] later that day.” White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany also has COVID-19, and has repeatedly gone maskless when speaking with reporters. McEnany announced that while she has tested negative consistently since Thursday, that changed on Monday morning.
Laurie was one of the two dozen that famously “laid hands” on Trump during a White House meeting with evangelicals and hate group leaders.

The Prayer March on the National Mall that preceded the ACB Rose Garden event was attended by THOUSANDS, few of them wearing masks. Laurie, who is now positive, then went to the White House.
When and where was he infected? How many others from the Prayer March are sick too?
